A car was trapped in a flooded tunnel following torrential downpours on Tuesday afternoon.

The vehicle's driver had attempted to drive through the tunnel close to the Gluck roundabout in Howald. But, with water levels reaching at least 30 centimetres in the tunnel, the driver was forced to call for help.

Firefighters from Hesperange brought the car to safety and closed the tunnel until the floodwater could be cleared.
